Over the years since the internet has made photography easy, I have noticed that many people post multiple pics of their handguns for sale, from both sides and from many angles.

With one exception.

S&W revolvers with The Lock are almost invariably photographed from the opposite side, and only that photo is posted.

Again, do your homework and see if I am lying.

It has gotten to the point where if I see an S&W revolver pictured, and the pic is from the right side, I take it for granted that the revolver has The Lock, and the owner is hiding that fact...so I have no interest in that gun.
